CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This is a continuation application to U.S. application Ser. No. 15/641,299, filed on Jul. 4, 2017, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0085069, filed on Jul. 5, 2016, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 119, the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to an organometallic compound, an organic light-emitting device including the organometallic compound, and a diagnostic composition including the organometallic compound.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices, which have better characteristics including wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, and produce full-color images.

In an example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer includes an emission layer. A hole transport region may be disposed between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be disposed between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transit from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

Meanwhile, luminescent compounds may be used to monitor, sense, or detect a variety of biological materials including cells and proteins. An example of the luminescent compounds includes a phosphorescent luminescent compound.

Various types of organic light emitting devices are known. However, there still remains a need in OLEDs having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the FIGURE which is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects of the present description. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly in contact with the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

The term “or” means “and/or.” It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this general inventive concept belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value.

Formula 1A includes a 5-membered ring represented by CY5, Formula 1A includes a cyclometallated ring formed by CY5, CY2, CY3, and M in Formula 1A which is a 6-membered ring (see Formula 1A′). Accordingly, a stable bond angle may be formed between a tetradentate ligand and a metal in Formula 1A, thereby improving a molecular stability of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1A:

In addition, in Formula 1A, in cases where i) M is Pt, ii) X₁ is O, iii) X₂ and X₄ are each N, X₃ is C, a bond between X₂ and M and a bond between X₄ and M are each a coordinate bond, and a bond between X₃ and M is a covalent bond, iv) Y₁ to Y₅ are each C, v) a bond between Y₅ and X₅₁ and a bond between Y₃ and X₅₁ are each a single bond, vi) CY1, CY2, and CY3 are each a benzene group, and CY4 is a pyridine group, vii) X₅₁ is O, S, or N-[(L₇)_(b7)-(R₇)_(c7)], and viii) b7 is 0, c7 is 1, and R₇ is a substituted or unsubstituted C₁-C₆₀ alkyl group, a1 to a4 may each independently be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, and at least one selected from R₁ to R₄ may be selected from a substituted or unsubstituted C₃-C₁₀ cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C₁-C₁₀ heterocycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C₃-C₁₀ cycloalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C₁-C₁₀ heterocycloalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C₆-C₆₀ aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C₁-C₆₀ heteroaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent non-aromatic condensed polycyclic group, and a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent non-aromatic condensed heteropolycyclic group. Thus, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1A may have improved molecular orientation, and in this regard, an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, which includes the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1A, may have improved efficiency and lifespan.

X₄ in Formula 1A may be N. Thus, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1A may emit a phosphorescent light emission having a high luminescent efficiency due to a intermolecular charge transfer mechanism.

Furthermore, CY₄ in Formula 1A may not be a benzimidazole group.
